KANSAS CTXY. Mo., Sept. 29. Immedi
ately upon the arrival of the Hoosevelt
eieclal train at this place this evening
tho Gorenior was escorted to Shawnee
Park, in Armourdale, Kan., where an im
mense open-air meeting was held. On
being introduced to the vast assembly,
an organized effort was made by a large
number of men and boys on the edge of
the crowd to prevent his making a Speech.
Cries and interruptions- -were frequent
'during the first moments. Each inter
ruption was followed with" hard hits from
the speaker until quiet was restored, and
the greater part of the speech was lis
tened to la respectful silence.
On the conclusion of his Armourdale
address, Governor Roosevelt was driven
to Convention .Hall, where an audience
was assembled, which, for numbers and
respecfcahility of appearance, is seldom
faced by nnv campaign speaker. Tire
vast auditorium was filled, tho Immense
callerlcs had not a vacant seat, and no
standing room anywhere. The seating
capacity of this hall is said to be 22,000.
Although the people had been waiting
from 7 until 10:10. their enthusiasm was
'undiminished, and their patience unex
hausted. 'When Governor Eoosevelt
mounted the platform the audience broke
Into waves of applause, which swelled and
died away and rose again, lasting for at
lease 20 minutes.
Order being at last restored, the Gov
ernor proceeded with his address, which
continued .for three-quarters of an hour.
He called attention to the prosperity of
the country, contrasting the economlo
conditions now with what they were four
years aro He dwelt somewhat upon the
prophesies of Mr. Brya and showed
lfaow those prophesies had "come to pass.
On the whole, the welcome and demon
strations at Ine two meetings and on the
Ktreets was something seldom witnessed
anywhere.
Governor Eoosevelt will spend Sunday
at the Midland Hotel. He will attend
the Dutch Reformed Church in the morn
ing, and In the afternoon will take a gal
lop into the country "with some friends.
He will see no callers and attend to no
functions. He will rest and sleep and
prepare for his Nebraska tour during the
coming week.
Speeches in Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept, 29.-At 8
o'clock this morning the first meeting ad
dressed by Governor' Eoosevelt today was
held in the open air at Eldorado, Kan.,
and In spite of the early hour and the
dampness of the ground, the people of the
town and from the farms adjacent as
sembled in sufficient numbers to make
a very fine appearance. Governor Eoose
velt made a flve-mlnute address.
Eureka was the next stop, where the
Governor spoke from the Tear platform of
his coach to several' hundred people.
Among other things he said:
"'I have a certain peculiar right to come
before you, because it was Kansas more
than any other state that Insisted on my
nomination for Vice-President, so that you
are responsible, in a large measure, for
,my being here. I have been passing
through your stock country today. I
used to live much farther "West than this,
where the branding-iron took the place of
the wire fence. Our safety in this coun
try lies in keeping ever before us the
fundamental unity and tht fundamental
brotherhood of the American people; for
weal or woe, we are knit together and
we must go up or down together."
Several thousand people were assembled
at the station at Chanute, watching for
the arrival of Governor Eoosevelt, No
time was lost in preliminaries and here
he compared in a few words the prophe
sies of disaster uttered by Mr. Bryan
four years ago with the prosperity of the
present time, and asked his hearers to
judge of the lesson taught thereby for
themselves.
Governor Eoosevelt's train reached Iola
at 11 o'clock. He spoke for a few min
utes from the rear platform of the car.
He -said:
"It is with peculiar pleasure that I
am able to stop and extend a word of
greeting to you in Iola, the town that
gave to the honor roll of the United
States as gallant a soldier as ever wore
TJncle Sam's uniform, General Funston. I
fail to see how in this town there can be
any man to fight against the honor of the
United States flag." Here a shout for
Bryan was heard. Cries of "Put him out"
and shouts for McKinley were made. Mr.
Eoosevelt continued:
"No, let him shout for Bryan and
Aguinaldo until he is black in the face,
but for heaven's sake do not let him men
tion General Funston in connection with
cither."
At Cherryvale, Parsons, Cherokee, Weir
City, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, Panola and
Olathe short; .stops, were made, and at
some places where no stops at all were
made, considerable crowds assembled on
the platforms of the .stations io.cheer the
train as it passed.
At Fort Scott, Kan., Governor Eoosevelt
addressed a meeting for three-quarters of
an hour, dwelling upon the Issues of mili
tarism. Imperialism and expansion. At
one point in his more than ordinarily im
passioned address, he exclaimed:
"I feel as if I were approaching a cru
sade. I do not feel as if this were an
ordinary political contest, I feel that I
have a right to appeal to the manhood of
every American as we appealed to it in
the days of the Civil Wat I ask you to
Btand with us for the sake of the orderly
liberty which Is the cornerstone of this
Eepublic and for the sake of preserving
the National prosperity which we have
now attained."
took each other for disturbers of tho
peace,", the resolutions continue:
"Resolved, Tha-t we unqualifiedly' de
nounce the wllfull and malicious manu
facture and circulation of the false and
wholly Imaginary rumors and reports
which are made for the purpose ot Influ
encing the political action- of the people,
and whose only effect can be to injure and
reflect discredit upon the good name and
standing of the commonwealth. We pro
test against the men who so Tecklessly
and wantonly slander and malign our
people for a supposed political advantage
and reproach a cause that requires resort
to such an infamy to secure success."

NEW YORK, Sept 23. Senator Hanna

Eoosevelt Club at noon today. Ferd Ziegel,
president of the club, read a letter he
had received from President McKlhley,
which was as follows:
"My Dear Slrr I have your letter of the
21st telling of the work you are doing,
and send greetings to you and the mem
bers of your club. Please accept my
thanks for your kindly expressions of
good will, which are much appreciated.

minutes. He left this afternoon for Cleve
land. It is said he will not return to
New York till the last week in October.
The Senator will accompany Sena-tor Fryo
on a tour of South Dakota.
LOS ANGELES & SALT LAKE
Plans for the New Line Consummated
in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept, 29. The Times-Herald
tomorrow will say:
Senator William A. Clark, of Montana,
yesterday consummated plans for the
building of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake
City Eailway. Senator Clark has been
staying at the Annex since Thursday last,
but remained over another day to consult
with Salt Lake and Los Angeles capital
ists. Another chief promoter is E. C
Kerens, of St Loul. Besides Mr. Clark
and Mr. Kerens, the participants in tho
conference were A. W. McCune, of Salt
Lake, and Senator Clark's brother, J.
Ross Clark, of Los Angeles.
R. C. Kerens said the new Los Angeles
& Salt Lake City Eailway absorbs the
franchise and property of the Los An
geles Terminal Company. This provides
for the entrance pf the new railway Into
the Southern California metropolis. Tho
Mormon Church has practically promised
a terminal site in the Utah capital, and
Pioneer Square, a tract of 10 acres, In the
center of the city, will be turned over to
the railway for Its passenger and freight
stations. Between the termini the whole
unopened Southwest will be spanned.
The Sierra Nevada will be alerced
through one of Its southern passes, and
the supremacy of the Southern Pacific
Eailway, hitherto unchallenged on the
Pacific Coast, will bo effectually broken,
at least in Southern California. The
death of Collls P. Huntington removed
the last obstacle to the success of tho
Clark-Kerens system. The construction
will require $25.O0O,t00 In expenditure. The
syndicate has its eye on a vast commer
cial development Southern Utah and
Eastern Nevada contain coal and the best
Iron ore, besides precious metals. ' The re
gion will some day be the' Pennsylvania
of the West Said Mr. Kerens: "We
contemplate a second Illinois Steel Works
there. We mean to make the Iron and
steel for tho entire Pacific" West Sur
veys have revealed the richness of the
country through which we shall pass in
the useful metals, and we propose to es
tablish great smelters and metal works."

LONDON Sept 29.-JTudglng from ap

Salisbury has. failed, to agree to the pro
posals contained In the German note. The
papers, which at first agrily declared that
the statement made to the- Associated
Press was inaccurate, are 'now either si

all, It is doubtful if it would be advisable
for Great Britain to become a party to
such a stringent measure. As a matter
of fact, the statement regarding Lord
Iveagh'and Lord Ardllauh, are taking op-.

vigorously "with their wealth and Influ

carefully avoided, and the . proceedings
were marked by unexpected harmony. The

Colo.. Democrats.
VICTOR, Colo., Sept 29. The Teller
County Democratic Convention and the
Democratic -Club of Victor adopted the
following resolutions unanimously:
"Whereas, Governor Eoosevelt and
party were not received in Victor with the
tolerance and courtesy due to the Gov
ernor of a sister state; therefore,
"Resolved, That we, the Dempcrats of
Victor, la convention assembled, condemn
the spirit of intolerance and discourtesy
exhibited on that occasion, and disavow
all responsibility for the disturbance of
the speakers In a public hall and for the
Subsequent violence Indulged in by mem
bers of the Eepubllcan Marching Club;
further,
"Eesolved, And we also deplore the folly
that Induced the Eepubllcans of Colorado
to provoke disorder by bringing Gover
nor Eoosevelt to this city under the auspi
ces Of the cordially detested traitor and
renegade, Senator Edward O. Wolcott"
Denver Democrats Heard From.
DENVER, Sept 59. At a large meeting
at the Broadway Theater tonight held
-under the auspices of the Arapahoe Dem
ocracy, resolutions were Introduced by
Governor C. S. Thomas and passed con
cerning the incident at Victor during the
visit of Governor Eoosevelt and party.
After stating "that the disorder was pro
voked by the presence and aggravated
and continued by -the conduct of Sena
tor B. O. WolcotV and that "during the
progress of Governor Eoosevelt and his
party to the depot a fight took place
between certain Eepubllcans, who sais-
clvillzation. which, in operation, has so
changed the condition of socety that
when we contrast manhood toUay with
manhood before the birth of this Eepublic,
it seems as if we Tvere speaking of differ
ent races and beings, and contemplating
a wholly different planet That which
Jefferson has founded on this soil cannot
be overthrown by McKinley."
Mr. Cockran ridiculed the various ar
guments of the Eepubllcan orators upon
the Philippine guestion, and said:
" 'Trade follows the flag.' That 'is the
most attractive phase in the whole rep
ertory. It was not invented in this coun
try. It was brought over to the custom
house. It was originated for English use.
and every English sympathizer has as
sumed It here. When has trade followed
the flag? If trade follows the flag, Eng
land's trade with Canada ought to be
much better than It is with tho United
States. As a matter of fact since the
English flag was driven out of the United
States and maintained In Canada, It has
increased but little beyond the Great
Lakes. It has grown with us until It ex
ceeds her trade with all her colonies com
bined. Trade does not depend upon a
flag; trade depends on markets. If it be
profitable to take the Philippines. I would
like to know what power it would be im
proper to take. Now, I believe every
patriot would like to See Canada annexed
to the United States. I think everybody
believes that It Is inevitable in the de
velopment of the future. And the annex
ation of China is a more reasonable sug
gestion than the annexation of the Phil
ippines would have been three years ago.
In fact, the reason for taking the Philip
pines is that hey lie so close to China
that they would give us access to Chinese
markets. Well, China lies closer to itself.
Moreover, we have the same excuses for
annexing China, China has Insulted us;
insulted our dignity In the person of our
Ambassador. The Filipinos never did
anything except to aid us on the field of
battle with their alliance."
It was nearly midnight when Mr. Cock
ran concluded. After reviewing the ef
forts of the Boer envoys to obtain recog
nition at the hands of the Government
he said, referring to the relations of this
Administration with tho English Govern
ment:
"There was not an alliance. That
would not be the proper way to do It
It was a surrender of this Government to
the control of the British Foreign Office'."
He maintained that if the gold standard
is not secure, it can never be made that
way by tho election of. a Eepubllcan. In
conclusion, he said:
"I have no doubt how this campaign
will end. I see on every side the proof
that Justice will triumph now, as It has
always triumphed In this country. I can
not believe that a Eepublic Is In danger
that Is built upon all the virtues which
humanity has developed, and which is, in
Itself, the supreme outcome of Christian
civilization. That all men are equal be
fore the law is the natural fruit of Chris
tianity. It will remain while Christian
civilization enlightens the world and stim
ulates the heart of man. As long as man
Is destined to justice and to progress, as
long as his eye is fixed upon the eternal
truths of heaven, the flag of this coun
try, typifying justice and the Constltu
ton, which secures it inseparable, inde
structible and invincible, shall remain
linked together forever and forever."
(Prolonged applause).

FINGER-BOARD OF MERCANTILE PROSPERITY.
Loans and Discounts of Pacific Coast National Banks
Increase $22,77(5,726.46 In Four Years.
A month before the Presidential election of 1896, business was
at a low ebb on the Pacific Coast, Bryan-was a candidate for Pres
ident, and the probability of a free-silver standard In the event of
his election had caused contraction In all lines of trade. Business
men were forced to work on low credits, which were short as to time
and low as to amount. If they aBked for more money or longer time,
the answer of the banks was the financial coridltloh of the country
was too precarious for extensive dealing, and that they, must be
content with limited credit for the time being. On October 6, 1896,
the loans and discounts of the National banks of the Pacific Coast
were -135,101,924 17. When Bryan had been defeated and the gold
standard assured, business revived, merchants 'land manufacturers'
enlarged their enterprises, and the extreme conservatism of 'the
banks gave way to a liberal policy, and the loans and discounts, in
creased by leaps and bounds, until on June 29, 1900, they aggregated
557,872,650 63, a gain of $22,770,726 46, or nearly 65 per cent in less than
four years. Four years ago it was difficult to obtain money, even
on good security, and as for interesting capitalists in new: enter
prises, no matter how flattering the prospect for success, that was
out of the question. Now money, is easily obtainable in any amount,
on security, and at lower rates of interest than have ever prevailed
on the Pacific Coast In Oregon the. legal rate of interest has been
reduced from 8 to 6 per cent, and municipal and private loans "have
been made at 5 per cent! and under. These are facts for the consid
eration of business men and their employes for the business man
because of the freedom and safety which the gold standard guaran
tees to his operations, and the worker because, the prosperity of hla
employer assures him good wages and prompt payment in the best
money of the world.
If Bryan should be elected in November, whatwill be the result?
Let business men and workers alike consider the figures fairly and
impartially, and ask themselves what, with a party elected' to power
which is committed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to 1, is to prevent a sudden contraction of credit to the figures of
1896. It may be answered that the population of the Pacific Coast
states and territories has increased since 1896, and- that enlarged
business requires enlarged capital'. Granted. But has the popula
tion of the Coast Increased 65 per cent? -Loans and discounts fell off
between 1893 an.d 1896, when free silver was only an agitation, Wtiat
would hold them up with a President in office pledged to 16 to 1?..
Figures on loans and' discounts for October 6, 1896, and June 29, 1900;

Salisbury's determination created so much
excitement and brought such severe com
ment from -Berlin, that it may result In
Great Britain's formal reply not being de
livered, and may Induce Germany to agree
to a compromise arrangement- The long
delay in Great Britain's formal reply
reaching Berlin increases the likelihood of
this happening. It is pointed out that
It would certainly suit Lord Salisbury, as
ho has no Inclination to Incur German ani
mosity, if it can be avoided.
Meanwhile the attitude of the European
powers toward China remains in the same
chaotic state. The Conservative party
managers would, so far as Great Britain
is concerned, see this policy, of delay ex
tended over the next two weeks, so that
no more handlers can be afforded the
Liberals in their attack upon the govern
ment The chief object of these Mr.
Chamberlain seems to be losing his tem
per. In reply to a public statement by
Hon. Philip Stanhope, Liberal president
of the National Eeform Union, regarding
tho Hawkesly documents, Mr. ?naraoer-
are rapidly making their appearance. The
most notable of these is J. M. Barrio's
"The Wedding Guest," which was pro
duced for the first time at the G-arrick
Theater Thursday evening.
It Is the old story of the betrayal of
an innocent Scotch lassie by an artist,
with this new feature that he promisea
his victim, who professes to have lost her
love for him, that he whenever marry an
other woman. He breaks his promise antf
the usual dramatic exposures follow, end
ing in the philosophic determination of
both women concerned to make the best
of a bad Job. -It was well received and
contains delightful touches of humor and
seme particularly strong scenes. The
critics differ in their opinions, several
maintaining that the material would make
a good book, but that it shons Barrle's
weakness as a playwright. However it is
an assured success. EC B. Irving and
Violet Vanbrugh have the leading parts.
It was prophesied that It would bo Im
possible for two "Nell.Gwynn" plays to
appear successfully In 'London at the

An Interesting feature of, the elections is
the Intervention of,the colonies for the
first time in the election In the mother

he would "not be Olackmauea Dy otannopa

no correspondence and never has been, to
prove my complicity In the' raid, which 1
did my utmost to stop." Mr. Stanhope
replied: "I will not stop to qualify the
vulgarity of your language, but I am
prepared to substantiate in the courts
every statement I have made concerning
you." Mr. Chamberlain, however, is not
expected to take the matter into tho
courts. But he hit back hard with a
personal bitterness quite foreign to ih6
traditions of the usually sedate Cabinet
Minister. , , , ,
The latest feature of Mr. Chamberlain's
speeches consist In hl3 holding- up Dr.
Cavln Brown Clarke, Liberal, who rep
resented Calthness-shlre, and who waB
formerly Consul-General of the South
African Republic In London, and Henry
Lahoucherel the editor of Truth, to Igno
miny as traitors till the audience shout
ed, referring to Clarke, "Shoot him."
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Lib
eral statesman, who has come out and
has astonilshed the country by the viril
ity of his speeches (he was born in 1S2.7)
scored a point by dubbing Mr. Chamber
lain a "little rican," on the ground
that, as he claimed, Mr. Chamberlain
would sacrifice everything for his African
policy, and added: "Mr. Chamberlain,
considering himself to be a Captain Cook
and a General Wolfe rolled into one, be
lieves he discovered Australia and
stormed Quebec"
In Ireland the election issues are inter
esting. A very verbal tight Is In progress
between William O'Brien and Timothy M.
Healy. Mr. O'Brien Is backed up by the
United Irish League, and 4Jolln Dillon a"nd
others, while Mr. Healy has Timothy D.
O'Sulllvan and several pther prominent
men arguing In his behalf. The result is
that a large number of the constituen
cies will be contested by" notolnees of both
Mr, O'Brien andMr. Healy, who appar
ently proress the same political princi
ples. This may give the Conservatives an
opportunity to capture a few .seats. John
Bedmond, the leader of the United Irish
party, to which both Messrs. O'Brien and
Healy belong, lias quite failed to restore
harmony. J. L. Carew, who has repre
sented the College Green division of Dub
lin, Is not only opposed by the Conserva
tives, but a candidate was put forward by
a number of his constituents, who are op
pose to him because he attended the
Queen's garden party.
The Conservative party in Dublin Is
also torn by Interna dissensions over tho
refusal of Horace Cu'rzon Plunkett to de
bar home-rulers from positions in the De
partment of Agriculture, and by the sup
port which Gerald Balfour, the Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, has given DTI action.
A curious feature of this dissension,

tives in Ireland have had' inr years, is
that the Guinness millionaires. Lord

How Biff Ben Got His Tfaxne,.
London Sphere.
"Big Ben" has ceased from booming
for a brief space, 'and a large section of
'London misses In consequence one of Its
most familiar- sounds. ' But there Is noth-
'lng very wrong; a little cleaning is being
done. How many people know why the
famous clock is called "Big Ben"? The
name, in fact, Is that of the hour bell
which Tvelghs 13 tons 11 cwt and was so
'called after Slr.BenJamln Hall, who was
first Commissioner of Works In 18C0, tho

Astoria Man Tells of His Mine on
Bonanza Cxeelc
D. McTavish, of Astoria, who has spent
three years In the Klondike, returned yes
terday. He went north with the first rush
of 1S97, and has stayed pretty closely by
his bench claim on Bonanza Creek ever
since. Although reticent as to how much
he has made during his three years' exiler
in that frozen region, he said yesterday
at the Perkins that ho was well satisfied
with the result
He does not think there Is anything
to dread in the climate of Dawson. He
found 20 below zero very comfortable
for outdoor work, but when it reached
60 below, shelter and fire were lndls
pensible. These extreme periods are in
frequent, however, and the miner can put
.In a few years up there without much
hardship.' f '
"Dawson will be a good camp -for tha
next 20 years," he said, "as the rich
placers will not be worked out In that
time. Prospecting Is still going on and
there are likely to be other rich finds
In the meantime."
He thinks the Canadian Government has
made enough out of the mines in that
district to pay off its debt "The royalty
of 10 per cent on the gros3 output of
the mines has amounted to an enormous
sum," he said, "and besides this, there
are miners' licenses to be sold annually
and thousands of claims to be re-recorded.
The royalty Is collected very closely,
and most of the miners are anxious to
pay It, as a failure to do so may lose
them their claims." He mentions one
mlneowner, Charles Anderson, who paid
$40,000 royalty this year, his gross output
being $100,000, Anderson's claim is on El
Dorado Creek. Both creek and bench
claims can now be worked Winter and
Summer, contary to the ideas of early
mining in the Klondike. Men can find
work the year around, at SO cents an hour
or 50 cents and, board. Provisions and
clothing are very much cheaper than a
few years ago, and mining can be car
ried on at smaller expense. The govern
ment appears more, friendly toward
miners and prospectors of late, and there
is talk -of suspending the collection of
royalty and even of throwing open El
Dorado Creek to prospectors again.
He likes tho way the lawa are enforced
In regard to protection of life and prop
erty, but he thinks there is a good deal
of corruption among the officials, who
make concessions to capital and permit
companies to monopolize miles of the rich
creeks. ' He expects to go back north
early next Spring.

Whatever may be their ethical short
comings, the Ritualists appear to pos
sess a keener sense of humor than their
theological opponents. A Bishop recent
ly stigmatized as "distinctly unwise" the
continued "ceremonial" use of lncenso
and processional lights In defiance of tho
Arehblshop'a "opinion," but the recalci
trant cleric who was thu3 admonished
promptly demurred to the charge, "In
the New-Testament," he said, "only two
classes of people are specially termed
wise the Wlso Men, who offered lncenso
ceremonially, and the Wise Virgins, who
carried processional lights." The good
bishop has retired for tbe present from
the encounter.
